Funny. Most of the airports which made the top 10 for quality and appearance didn't make the list for this. Actually, none of them did.
Goes to show, that it's on the inside that counts.

1. Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport 89,379,287
2. Chicago O'Hare International Airport 76,159,324
3. London Heathrow Airport 68,068,554
4. Tokyo Haneda Airport 66,671,435
5. Los Angeles Los Angeles International Airport 61,895,548
6. Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport 59,919,383

| Atlanta handles a lot of South American and African traffic as well as Europe and Direct KAL to Seoul. |

Connecting via Narita.

This one surprises me. I would have thought Narita is busier. It's used as a hub for a lot of NA-to-Asia flights. |

| Incheon would have to be one of the least busy! It's like a ghost town at night. Heathrow is never even close to that level of quietness. |

Right, Heathrow is busy and is also a craphole. I haven't been there since terminal 5 opened, I would guess that that's okay. I mostly flew out of T3. It's horrible. I know they're working on upgrading and refurbishing the whole airport, but I wish they'd get a move on. Last time I flew out of there in 2006 it was horrible.
I once spent 18 hours hanging around at Heathrow. Not pleasant at any airport. But there? Nasty. |
